Sit With the Shadows

Sit With the Shadows

You break away

but aren't broken

by your fall.

Kick up dust

when you land

then settle in.

Find contentment

in a place where

you can glisten

in the sun or

sit with the shadows.

This poem got its start during a writing sprint. As part of Wordsmith Studio's 4th anniversary celebration in April, Elissa Field is hosting writing sprints on Twitter each Friday from 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Eastern time. You can join in using #wssprint or #wschat. We did a few warm-up sprints last Friday. You can check the feed at the above hashtags.

About Me

I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. Since 2001, I have attended and/or volunteered with a bereavement support group; and grief is a recurring theme in my poetry.
My work has appeared in Thorny Locust, Rusty Truck ezine and Salon, a series of anthologies of poetry from Kansas City's longest running open mic. I combine poems and photographs into visual art. My work has been on display at The Writers Place, of which I am a member, PT's at the Crossroads, InterUrban ArtHouse, the Downtown Neon Gallery and the 2015 Mission (KS) Artwalk. It also was included in the juried show "Cultures Without Borders--2015".
